Correct!

I do not agree with Matthias on this Point, but I know where it came
from ... we are currently fighting the HeavyMetal map and he entered a
building with massive units before me and could not use them immediately
to wipe my troops off :-)

My opinion is to keep the limitations as they are. It's a tactical
chellenge to use the infantry effective. Particularly regarding to the
issue, that there is no defense to buildings from the unit in it.

That may be an interesting addition! It could be a fancy surprise forthe
attacker :-)

To the argument that two hostile infantrists could block each other
entering a building could be solved by sending supporting units ... and
this could change the war in interesting ways!

I agree completely on that!
